Annotation on page reads: "East end of Princes Street from the front of the Theatre Royal.The builders' hoarding at the corner of Princes Street carries some Newspaper posters, on one of which the "War Telegraph" is an announcement of the "Battle of Alma", fought 20 September 1854."
J. G. Tunny, Member of the Photographic Society of Scotland. This work exhibited in the first annual exhibition, 1856, Edinburgh.
Princes Street is one of the main thoroughfares and shopping areas in Edinburgh. It was created as part of James Craig's New Town development and named in honour of George III's sons. With the exception of St John's Church there is no building on the southern side of Princes Street, allowing spectacular views of Edinburgh Castle and Old Town.
The word cobble has been used here to help with searching, an alternative term is sett. Sett stones describe both the type of stone and the method in which they are used.
